One of my absolute style icons is Carine Roitfeld, editor of French Vogue. The French edition of Vogue is so different from any other edition – highly stylized, and so fanciful that it hardly ever bothers to do anything about makeovers, or editing your look……that would be far too déclassé.
Carine has that jolie laid look much loved by the fashion elite, and ahem, much loved by moi. Yes, she looks like Iggy Pop but so what, this woman rocks.
For someone who rarely gives interviews, this year, we’ve seen Carine at her most vocal, pronouncing on all manner of essentials. Carine would not be seen dead in jeans. Or mini skirts. She always wears heels in Paris. Always. She likes people rail thin but she doesn’t have a weight policy at Vogue.
In this months Acne paper, Carine said she is “quite classic with an edge.” Oooh j’adore her definition of classic. “It’s more the way you mix the clothes and how you move, how you open your bag, how you cross your legs – just little things that make a difference.”
Oh Carine, you speak the truth, you speak with the essence of Francais.
